£450 new build

Sniper · 27-09-2006, 04:49 PM

Right guys I need to build a new PC for someone and to be honest I don't know what I should get. This is not a gaming PC but a Multimedia PC. Main purpose of the PC is to do university work e.g. using MS office, photoshop, dreamweaver. I would also think the PC will be used to watch movies etc Oh TFT included would be great and I already have a PSU I can use.

I will be using ebuyer.com - the UK's largest independent online retailer of computers as the retailer of my choice.

thanks guys

CPU - AMD 3700+ Sandiego
MotherBoard/Case/KB/Mouse - Foxconn MiniFX SKT939 Barebone System
Memory - Corsair Value 512Mb
HardDrive - Western Digital 160Gb SATA2
Gfx Card - Nvidia 7600GT
Monitor - Relisys TL766 17" TFT

Total of ££444.77 including VAT and shipping.

You can add another stick of RAM if you can stretch the budget for a little more.

Well, I think I've got something close.

Motherboard: Asus M2NPV-MX £48.81 inc VAT
CPU: Athlon64 X2 4200+ £122.72 inc VAT
Video Card: AOpen GeForce 6200TC 128MB £22.99 inc VAT
RAM: Kingston 1GB DDR2-667 £67.99 inc VAT
Hard Drive: Seagate 250GB SATAII £49.41 inc VAT
Optical Drive: Pioneer DVR-111BK 16x DVDRW £23.80 inc VAT
Case: CoolerMaster Centurion 5 £38.72 inc VAT
Display: BenQ 15" TFT £93.11 inc VAT

Total w VAT: £467.55

I tossed in the video card, as any on-board solution derives from the system memory. The motherboard I picked out has on-board video if you decide to drop the video card. I figured the dual-core would be useful, and it was just a few £'s extra from a single-core (I think the 3500+).
